Moved to Matrix, but there are active IRC channels on Libera as well.
I thought Matrix group sizes are limited to 1024 members. I can't google if this limit still exists.
The noteworthy (IMO, obviously) communities/projects that I have seen jump ship (either voluntarily or by force) are wikimedia & wikimedia, ubuntu, gentoo, centos, kde, postgres, sourcehut, wesnoth, mutt, vim, emacs, lisp, scheme, clojure, haskell. Any other ones that I haven't seen yet?

> And the interface is better than Slack. Don't tell it everywhere. Some people might get offended. :D I agree with you though.
Is there a way to get similar feel that slack has for irc? You know, half a gigabyte of client data, at least 1GB of ram usage, multiple processes, high cpu load?
Matrix isn't anything like as resource heavy as Slack is I don't think (and to me more importantly it's an open, federated protocol), but to many IRCers it'll seem similar in both the good and the bad ways, depending on what they find comfortable.

Not at all. Why is the domain owned by an icelandic entity instead of the nonprofit? Where is the company registration number of the nonprofit (required to open a bank account - where will donations be held, etc). Its all very vague and handwavy at the moment - just like early days of freenode... EDIT: Loads of downvotes, but why? Any of you want to leave a comment instead of just downvoting?
> Why is the domain owned by an icelandic entity instead of the nonprofit? According to the WHOIS information, the registration of libera.chat was made 2021-04-23. This registration was made ~1 month before the organisation Libera Chat was announced. As far as I can tell, the organisation could not have made the registration as a legal entity before existing. Seeing the registrar is Namecheap, I guess someone made th…
Domain name ownership can be transferred. It's trivial for a founding member to register the domain name first, then transfer ownership to the organisation once it has been founded.

I don't use Discord but apparently there was some pretty drama a couple of weeks ago because they made a bunch of changes to the UI of the client that apparently the community didn't like. If you want to have control of your platform then don't use closed source, proprietary solutions!
While I do hate that Discord is being used for all chat needs instead of just sticking to being a replacement for Ventrilo or Skype for gaming groups, I want to point out that the drama is a massive overreaction. Discord made very minor style changes and slightly modified their logo, wordmark, and brand color scheme (with the logo being the only one of those you really end up seeing inside the application).
Grateful to see it flourish!
The ease at which one connects to Libera with an IRC client, it was like nothing had happened, at this point (especially after recent events) you'd get a very close experience of what Freenode was like, with the same people, topics and all. Grateful to see it flourish!
Can someone who is more in the know help me: is the move away from the Freenode name (or rebranding) a way to leave the project as it is (keeping existing functionality and thereby ensuring backwards compatibility)? Or is it because of a disagreement between maintainers, or something else?
